I've been looking into buying a centerfire handgun here for a while mainly as a camping and hunting pistol. Pricing different brands and models and found what I want.... I think $450 for a like new .357/9mm Blackhawk. Seems like a good deal and a fair compromise between hunting abilities and monetary considerations. Versatile I guess. I also have a Ruger Single-Six that I shoot a lot, so it would be nice to have a similar platform to hunt deer and squirrels on! Also, $450 seems like a good deal, am I correct in this regard?
I know .357 is a little light on deer, but I figure I hunt deer with a bow that generates about 70 ft/lbs, why can't a hardcast bullet at 600 ft/lbs take one down. Ranges would be similar and shots will be practiced a lot.
So, is this it?
